Our host Teri Barr is talking with Sydney Brown (twitter), Education Reporter for The Daily News in Longview, Washington, about the issue of dress codes in some schools.

Sydney learned why the dress codes are not consistent across one school district, how it's leading to a disruption in education, particularly for girls, and what some parents want done about it.

Here's Sydney's original article:

  • Parents, students at Longview's R.A. Long are asking school officials to change 'sexist' dress code
